Steps
1. Peel the apple and chop it finely, then place it in a pan with brown sugar and simmer. Lower the heat from high to low.
2. As the sugar melts and the apple releases moisture, bubbles will form.
3. Once the apple turns tender, add the raisins and chopped walnuts and simmer. (Peanuts or other nuts are good too.)
4. Simmer down thoroughly until no moisture remains.
5. Prepare the ingredients along with the stewed apples. Leaving the eggs at room temperature for about 2 hours helps them whip up easily.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt together and sift about 3 times to prepare.
6. Separate the egg yolks and whites. Add half of the sugar to the yolks and stir until dissolved.
7. Pour the milk into the egg yolks mixed with half the sugar and stir.
8. Beat the egg whites while gradually pouring in the remaining sugar.
Whip until it holds firmly and does not fall from the whisk.

12. Ladle your desired amount of batter into a pan over low heat and cook.

13. Look at that nicely browned color. The texture is fluffy and soft.
It is delicious eaten just like this, and also great with jam or syrup.
14. This one is for rolling. I pan-fried it into a long rectangle. Cook this one nicely on both sides until golden brown as well.

15. Spread a little honey or jam over the rectangular pancake.
That way, it will stick together nicely and not separate from the bread when sliced later.
16. Roll it up tightly, wrap in plastic wrap or cheesecloth, let it rest for a moment, and then slice.
My daughter loves sweet things and says it is just right, but if you do not like things too sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar when making the batter.

FAQ
Can I use other nuts instead of walnuts or raisins?
Yes, you can use peanuts or other nuts, or you can omit them entirely.
How can I prevent the batter from sticking to the pan?
Using a well-coated nonstick pan and cooking gently over low heat will allow the pancake to release smoothly.
Is there a tip to help the egg meringue whip up better?
Setting the eggs out at room temperature for about 2 hours before cooking makes them whip up much more easily.
How do I keep the pancake from unrolling once rolled?
Spread a thin layer of honey or jam over the pancake sheet before rolling it up tightly, then wrap it in plastic wrap or cheesecloth for a short while so it holds together well.
